Los Callejeros is a Belgian band that take you on a musical journey through the world. Their music is not limited to one genre, but is a mix of several styles like reggae, cumbia, soka, salsa, gipsy and ska. Los Callejeros once started as a collaboration project of 26 musicians from all over the world. Through time most of them started their own musical project and Los Callejeros grew into a new refreshing live band. Driven by unexpected encounters, Los Callejeros developed a new sound with instruments from almost all continents. Their live performance is known as a heartwarming musical surprise. An experience, for young and old to enjoy.
At the end of 2008 the Los Callejeros went to Peru to record their latest docu-clip 'Mas Corazon'. This became the take off of their 2010 summer tour. Since then, Los Callejeros has been playing at the Pole Pole Festival, Couleur Cafe, Club Depot, Vooruit, Fiesta Mundial and many other places. In February Los Callejeros released their second album 'Presente' on which they successfully explored the possibilities of a musical blend between Balkan, African percussion, Indian mantras and South American rhythms.
